HI,
Psoriasis is a long running disease and needs prper best treatment. Methotrexate is the mainstay of the therapy but has its own blood and liver realted side effects. Always take it under dermatological advise other wise can cause serious side effects.
You should go for complete blood counts and liver function tests every month to see if the side effects are present or not.
